I spent a few weeks here on a spontaneous vacation, for the sole reason that I’m a Linux fan and new that Linus Torvalds was from Finland… Plus, RyanAir flies here very cheaply from where I live. There is an excellent spy museum in Tampere (http://www.vakoilumuseo.fi/) where very little is under glass, but much is hands-on. There is also a Lenin Museum that is full of information, but I found pretty dull. The real jewel is the technology museum (called Vapriikki?) in the center of town, where you can see famous computers and play with flip-movies from the 3o’s. Amazing! This city has some amazing jazz clubs with live music, blues bars, warm food and everyone speaks English…
